Monthly Archives: July 2014

Any new bookings made with a $200 deposit during the month of August will receive FREE Mickey ears for all kids 17 and under.

I am excited to let you know that Disney will be releasing it’s package pricing on Wednesday July 30, 2014. I am all ready to go and excited to make dreams come true.

Bookings are also open for Universal Orlando & Aulani in Hawaii.

Disney only requires a $200 deposit to hold any package. Your remaining balance will be due 45 days prior to your arrival. Once Disney releases it’s Promotions for your travel dates, I will adjust your package automatically to lower your price. So if you book at the rack rate now, and in Three Months FREE Dining is offered, guess what if the promotion fits your travel dates we can offer you that savings, if the dates do not match up we can revise your travel dates to fit any promotion. So it is a Win Win situation, like putting your vacation on lay away. You can make as many payments as you like until your final balance is due at the 45 day mark. You have nothing to loose by booking in advance and everything to gain. One perk of early booking is you are locked in at the 180 day mark when you can begin making your Advanced Disney Dining Reservations or the 60 day mark when you can begin your Fast Pass + Selections. That will help you secure the times and locations for your Dinner Reservations and Rides & Attractions. You will be one step ahead of the Planning process. Advance planning when it comes to a Walt Disney World Vacation is key to having a Magical Time. So why wait…Make your Magical Memories this month for next year and make your Dreams Come True.

Are you ready to brave the World’s Tallest & Fastest Drop Ride? Then do not miss the chance to head over to Six Flags Great Adventure this summer. Six Flags has done it again by shattering the World Record. This ride is connected to the world’s tallest roller coaster, Kingda Ka, Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson NJ. This ride will plunge riders 41 stories at speeds up to 90 mph! Opening Soon!

Fact Sheet:

Tallest drop ride in the world

415 feet

Up to 90 miles per hour

Blast to the top in 30 seconds

Drop in less than 10 seconds

Three soaring towers built on the face of the record-breaking Kingda Ka coaster

Eight-person gondolas with 24 riders per cycle

The three gondolas ascend simultaneously but drop independently

Taller than London’s Big Ben and twice as tall as Lady Liberty

Plummet back to Earth as fast as a female cheetah stalking her prey

5,551 feet of wire rope (cable) equal to 617 jump ropes

2,490 feet of guide rail (track) if laid end-to-end, is taller than the Eiffel Tower stacked on top of the Empire State Building

810 feet of linear magnetic brakes — equal to the height of the Great Sphinx reclining on top of the Golden Gate Bridge

The hoist (drum/winch) mechanism that operates the lift cable is a whopping 17-feet-wide by 9-foot-diameter — the size of a rental moving truck

Theming is inspired by the Safari Off Road Adventure that transformed Six Flags Great Adventure into the world’s largest theme park in 2013

“Zumanjaro solidifies Six Flags Great Adventure’s dominance as the Northeast’s thrill capital,” said John Fitzgerald, park president. “This is precisely the world-class, record-breaking attraction our guests have come to expect from Great Adventure. Zumanjaro is destined to top many ‘must ride’ lists in 2014.”

Three soaring Zumanjaro towers will be built on the face of the massive Kingda Ka coaster debuting during the park’s 41st season. Each drop tower will feature a gondola with eight riders.
